Three Utah schools raise money for iPads and HDTVs

Three more Utah schools are clinching a deal that promises an iPad for each student. But others are forfeiting their bids for a tech makeover because they can’t afford their share of the bill.

The state gifted digital gear to three schools last year, but this year’s candidates had to raise half of the cost, or about $740 per student. The revamp includes high-definition TVs, more computers, teacher training and swift wireless networks.
